A spring of spring constant k is attached to a support at the bottom of a ramp that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. A bloc

k of inertia m is pressed against the free end of the spring until the spring is compressed a distance d from its relaxed length. Call this position A. The block is then released and moves up the ramp until coming to rest at position B. The surface is rough from position A for a distance 2d up the ramp, and over this distance the coefficient of kinetic friction for the two surfaces is μ . Friction is negligible elsewhere.
What is the distance from A to B? Suppose the values of μ, k, d, θ, and m are such that the spring fully extends, but the block never goes higher than 2d .
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables k, μ, m, d, and θ.


More than anything I'm just confused by the question. If someone could at least draw the picture I might be able to figure it out. Thanks.

Answer:

x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy

Energy lost  by the spring, W=Kinetic energy gained, KE+Potential energy gained, PE+Work done by friction, Fr

0.5kd^{2}=0.5mv^{2}+mgLsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta x

x(mgsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)=0.5kd^{2}

x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

The required distance from A to B is x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

A tennis ball is tossed upward with a speed of 3.0 m/s. We can ignore air resistance. What is the velocity of the ball .40 secon
alexira [117]

Answer:

<em>Hello, The velocity of the ball is 0.92 m/s in the downward direction (-0.92 m/s).</em>

Explanation:

The equation for the velocity of an object thrown upward is the following:

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

v = velocity of the ball.

v0 = initial velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

t = time.

To find the velocity of the ball at t = 0.40 s, we have to replace "t" by 0.40 s in the equation:

v = v0 + g · t

v = 3.0 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 0.40 s

v = -0.92 m/s

The velocity of the ball is 0.92 m/s in the downward direction (-0.92 m/s).

When a 0.622 kg basketball hits the floor, its velocity changes from 4.23 m/s down to 3.85 m/s up. If the ball was in contact wi
SVEN [57.7K]

when the ball hits the floor and bounces back the momentum of the ball changes.

the rate of change of momentum is the force exerted by the floor on it.

the equation for the force exerted is

f = rate of change of momentum

f = \frac{mv - mu}{t}

v is the final velocity which is - 3.85 m/s

u is initial velocity - 4.23 m/s

m = 0.622 kg

time is the impact time of the ball in contact with the floor - 0.0266 s

substituting the values

f = \frac{0.622 kg (3.85 m/s - (-)4.23 m/s)}{0.0266}

since the ball is going down, we take that as negative and ball going upwards as positive.

f = 189 N

the force exerted from the floor is 189 N
